Having this simple [code]...
Why the function nullify() changes the value of the property "a" but doesn't do the "= null " assigment to the object passed by parameter ?
I have the following problem with objects in actionscript3:
var o:Object = new Object();
destroyObject(o);
trace(o); // [object Object]
[code].....
i want to pass by reference so i can use this variable outside the function.
What im doing is creating a global variable such as var cont:int; and then in a eventListener like enter_frame (stage.addEventListener..) calling a function called "mover", this function modifies "cont" value and i just want to print this value modified. The issue is i cant pass the value by reference just by const :S. The function is void, but if i change it to return int, its useless because each time i call the function, the value i want to return its created each time with a new value, beacuse i need to declare it so.. I read i can use a var such as Object but i really dont get it (im used to c++ i have to say)
Is this a valid way to completely clean up a variable/object event listener (code abbreviated for sake of example):
Code:
private var _timing:Timing;

Let say I have two type object, one is MovieClip and other is Sprite, then I'm creating a function to access its child.
ActionScript Code:
function accessChild(parentObj:Object, childObj:Object):void {
trace(parentObj.childObj);
}
Then using "Analyze Project Source Code..." from FlashDevelop tools to analyze my code, I've got an error message:
"Do not use Object class. It is a bad practice to use the dynamic class Object. Prefer using strongly typed object, or marker interface in order to avoid silent compilation errors while refactoring". What type of object should I use in the parameter if I don't know the type of object if using an Object class as type object is a bad practice?
I have a function that goes like this;
Code:
function goback1(event:Event) {
cont.nums.y=86.5;

I'm building an AIR desktop application. At one point the application loads a popup window (an MXML component based on s:Window), which contains an mx:HTML component which loads a local (in the application directory) html file, blank.html. The relevant elements in blank.html are:
<script src="jw/jwplayer.js"/> <!--JW Player's JS-based Embedder-->
<div id="jwtarget" /> <!-- the target that the embedder will use -->
Since the parameters I want to use are determined at runtime, I use the domWindow property to invoke the method which loads the player. Here's an example that works:

I have a class in my .fla's library called StatBar_object. StatBar_object is an inherited class that extends from a custom class StatBar, while StatBar extends from MovieClip.
However, StatBar's constructor has a parameter (the constructor reads "public function StatBar(target:int)"). Thus, I continually get an output of:
"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on StatBar_object(). Expected 0, got 1.
at actionscript.stat::StatBox_object()
at actionscript.modes::battle_mode()"
Is there any way to get StatBar_object's constructor to include StatBar's parameter?
I'm having troubles activating the HitTest, passing the objects name as a parameter through a global function. Let's say there is the following function on the main timeline:
Code:
_global.fallIntoBasket = function (fallingObject) {
if (_root[fallingObject].hitTest(_x, _root.basket_mc._y+(_root.basket_mc._height/2)-7, true)) {
trace ("teste");
_root[fallingObject]._alpha=0;
}}
I then call this function passing the this._name of the object as a parameter in a onClipEvent (EnterFrame) on each of the falling Objects action box. The whole detection thing doesn't work though... but if I place the hitTest code on each of the object, and change the _root[fallingObject] to this it works. Can I not pass hitTest through a function?
I have created a small banner for the homepage of a website for a company. The problem is that when they load the banner to their website the link no longer works.

i've been struggling with the following:
i am creating a list of buttons with an attachMovie. the AS is :
//as
var i = -1;
while(++i<userlist.length){
var user = userlist[i];
[Code].....
okay the problem is this: then i assign an on click function to every button right in the while loop that uses the data parameter of the "ob" object and when i play the movie the data parameter is always the parameter of the last object created for all the buttons. I know why this is happening- it overWrites the old "ob" with the new with every itteration of the loop.
But how would i go differently about creating an individual "ob" for each button created and still be able to have a function with a data parameter like this.onRelease.userClicked(data)?
I would like to change the parameters of an object, or values like width and height, via javascript but I need a very lightweight method. In the end some of the thing that I want to change would be width, height and a parameters src value. So far I'm having no luck of getting it by id $('#test').attr('src','test.html') or the javascript method of getElementById().
What is the best - lightweight - method to do this?
An object being like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="500" data="http://www.thisembed.com" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
I want to print the content of the label property in the Alert window.[code]...
But the Alert window is completely empty. What am I doing wrong ?
I guess the keyword "this" is referencing the application instead of the LinkButton, right ?How can I reference the LinkButton itself, without having to add an ID to all my linkButtons?
I need to get a pointer to a piece of XML. I can get a pointer to the parent node and everything works but trying to get a pointer to a node that has no children just returns the value of that node.[code]...
Tracing subNode would be just the value and there is no pointer to the original xml object, so editing the subNode var would only change its value, not the one in the original XML object.
How do I get a pointer to the subNode so it can be edited to change the original xml object?
Is it possible to have a reference to a class instead of an object? [code]so that you can then use static vars of those Classes? from the var b?
View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash but have used Illustrator and InDesign for years. How to set the reference object by which all other objects are aligned; e.g. Illustrator ->select all objects then a second click on the reference object and all other objects take their cue. InDesign you lock the reference object and that determines the rest. In Flash it seems that either both objects move or the one that I wish to remain in position jumps rather than the other way around.

classes. GiftMain and GiftItem. i attached GiftItem objects into GiftMain. Actually there are 2 more movieclips between them. i declare a variable in GiftItem as giftMain to reference it to the GiftMain. i have a function in GiftItem which is as below;
[Code]...
trace outputs the right object in this function in GiftItem class but at another place in the same class, it outputs undefined when it is traced even though it is global variable. I just want to reach GiftMain from GiftItem without using _parent or _root. How can i do that?
I am modifying some Flex code written by someone else. There is an mx:text control that I want to change the 'text' property of. I know how to do this within the .mxml file in which the control is defined, however I don't know how to do this from within a separate .as ActionScript file. I recall in Flash there is some way to fully qualify the reference by prepending the stage or something like that
View 1 RepliesI have some object, which extends movie clip:public class MyClass extends MovieClip Now, I want to put two of this in the stage:[code]That would put one, but the other I want it to be exactly the same as the first, so I just need to add a "reference" of obj to the stage, along with obj itself.In the end, I want two objects of type MyClass doing the same thing in the stage. If I try to simply do:[code]only obj2 will appear in the stage.How could I achieve that with references? (in order to save memory and CPU time (it is really important))
View 6 RepliesIs it possible to reference an object using a variable value?
For example, I have a function that is supposed to hide an image and add that image to an inventory list when the item is clicked.
All the image info is stored in an object (name, imgSource, visible, x, y);
I was thinking I could do something like this:
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var item:Object = new Object();
[Code].....
I want "item" to stand for knife so that I could change knife.visible, knife.xPos, ect.

I'm creating a bunch of movieclips, associating a sound object with them, and then updating them with a progress bar, like so:
var theClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
theClip.track = new Sound;
[load sound from URL pseudocode here]
theClip.track.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
function onLoadProgress (erogressEvent):void {
How do I reference the movieClip the sound is a child of? e.target refers to the sound object; e.target.parent returns an error. And you can't assign properties to sound objects.
